i have had my 2001 320ise 4dr for 4 months now, it hasnt missed a beat and drives like new. its done 65k miles. It has the cloth interior which is ok (i would have preferred leather) and pretty much everything you need in a car. I like the up market feel to the car, the only downside about the look of the car is the standard 16" wheels which look like coasters on a sofa (need to be bigger). It averages 29-30mpg and i have a heavy foot, and its capeable of cruising at 140mph where the law allows (i did say i had a heavy right foot). The quality feel and badge snobbery attracted me and im not disapointed. Once i fit bigger wheels ill be compltetely impressed and recommend this car to all walks of life.
